Cultured Girls.

1t is sometimes thought that if girl
has been educated at high-class school
she must be cultured, but some girls
are the most uncultured of persons.
One need not be rich or educated in
order to be cultured, but only sure that
all sides of her being grow in harmony.
Culture does not mean music or French,
but womanhood. Very few can be
rich, small number educated, but cul-
ture is for all. Be determined to know
something, even little, of the best
history, the best poetry, the best BIZ
ography, the best of art, the facts in
science and the best thoughts of the
best minds-ten minutes each day, five
or six solid books a year, not mere
stories. The best in style and senti-
ment is as cheap as the poorest. There
is no excuse for reading trash when
the standard works on all subjects are
as cheap as the poorest, no more than
for walking in the mud when clean
sidewalk is provided. Not extensive
but select reading gives culture. Gather
little standard library of your own.
You will respect yourself and others
will respect you for it, Keep a scrap
book; fill it with the best things. Moth
ing reveals girls line of thought more
than her scrap-book. Read and think
read little and think much; read when
at leisure; think when at work. A
thoughtless, selfish, snappish, cross,
fretful, Overbearing and dictatorial girl
may take the prize at school, may excel
in music and travel round the world =,
but the more she knows the less culture
she has. The commonest country girl,
with good health, an open brain and a
warm, unselfish, patient, self-controlled
disposition is hundred-fold more Gull
tured than the boarding school girl who
is fractions with her mother, cross with
her sisters, or knows too much to as
sociate with working-girls. Disposition
is culture. Health is the soil, intelli-
gence the branches and disposition the
leaves, buds and blossoms, the robe of
living beauty, fragrance and sweetness
with which young woman is to clothe
her life, for without horticulture the
finest mental culture is like tree with
nothing but cold, leafless limbs. The
cultured young woman is spiritual
loving what God loves, hating what
God hates, reading his thoughts over
after him, in nature, in his Word, and
in her own soul, coming into sympathy
with him. This makes of art living
life and lifts the passions, the thoughts
the affections and the will into a region
of pureness and joy. Such is the final
fruit of the tree for which all the rest
are given. This is the highest culture
without which no woman can have hel
greatest beauty, or power, or joy
Christ gives this.-The Presbyterian.

To Fame.

1t grieves us that, by the trumpets vaunt,
Thou breathed not one name for who wonld choose
Henceforth to wear this with those garish hues
Thou lov'st in court and marketplace to harnG
SO many mouths all open for descent,
So many jangling tongues as thou dost use
Who would endure2 Yet, are there gloating crews
Who in this uproar hear the sirens chant,
To gain thy voice they've tumbed cities down;
Made earth blush red with waste of valiant blood;
Through desert islands traced rivers flood,
At last within the mystic source to drown
Or, attic-lodged above the bustling town.
Have dreamed of lsurels pushing into bud.
Yet listen. though our prayer be something strange
Show us no favor for the passing day,
Tomorrow, or so long as we shall stay
within the pleasant light; but when the change
That ends all changes sweeps in its range,
And we are gone upon the ancient way
Where Night and Silence hold enduring sway
Let these not hide us wholly nor estrange;
Then spiritlike, go speak us dear to those
Who shall hereafter in our places dwell
Whom we had loved, and who had loved us well,
Could we have tarred for them! Charge the rose
with speech for MS, and to the stream that flows
Through our lost meadows lend voiceful spell.

Wonderful Creatures at the Bottom
of the Sea.

l never tire of examining through
the microscope some bit of ocean mud,
remarks writer in the Hartford
COront, for in it | am constantly find
ing some remarkable form of shell.
They are often spined; sometimes they
are smooth and polished as the best
glazed china-ware; at times they are
pure white; then again they are banded
and striped with every hue of the rain
bow. 1t seems pity that such beau
ties should be so small and hidden so
far from the eyes of man. On this great
bed of mud the most remarkable crea-
lures live in vast numbers. They are
serpent-like starfishes, beautiful branch
ing corals, ugly black fishes, pure white
" sea-cucumbers," bright pink, purple
and red sea-anemones and host of
other creatures. The fishes are always
strange and uncouth, with huge mouths
and stomachs all in one, but with the
tail hardly noticeable. When the fishes
are brought to the surface their air.
bladders and stomachs protrude from
their mouths, their eyes bulge out and
the blood is forced through the skin.
Life has been crushed out of them by
the sudden change of pressure, the
gases within having burst the tissues
and body walls asunder. The tremen-
dous pressure of the water was well
shown by lowering an empty bottle,
which was crushed to atoms.

line, mingling with the world to-day
and coming back among Christ's peo-
pie tomorrow. The best way is to keep
as far from the world as you can, to
have as little TO do with it as you can
Some one asked Billy Dawson how the
world was getting on. He said he did
not know, he had not been there for a
number of years. We are told that if
we lift the standard too high many
people will leave the churches and
chapels. There is no doubt about that,
but you will get a good many more.
The power of God will be with you,
and then many souls will be added to
the church Moody.

A Good Experience.

Christians might avoid much trouble
and inconvenience if they would only
believe what they protestant God is
able to make them happy without any
thing else. They imagine that if such
a dear friend were to die or such and
such blessings were to be removed
they would be miserable, whereas God
can make them thousand times hap
pier without them. To mention my
own case, God has been depriving me
of one blessing after another; but as
every one was removed he has come in
and filled up its place, and now, when
l am cripple and not able to move,
am happier than 1 ever was in my life
before, or ever expect to be, and if l
had believed this twenty years ago l
might have been spared much anxiety

A GOOD appetite is essential to good
health, but at this season it is often
lost, owing to the poverty or impurity
of the blood, arrangement of the diges-
tive organs and the weakening effect
of the changing season. Hoods Sar-
saparilla is a wonderful medicine for
creating an appetite, toning the diges-
ton and giving strength to the whole
system. Now is the time to take it..

Many Christians seem to have the
desire to live as near the world as they
possibly can, to have as much of the
world as they can and have Christ at
at the same time. My experience has
been that such Christians are the most
wretched people on the face of the
earth. They neither enjoy the world
nor Christ. They are what are called
border Christians, running over the
